Brighton & Hove Albion vs Wolverhamton Wanderers *** Official Match Thread ***

[Hampster Gull]

Out of our 9 remaining games we have winnable games at Millwall, Rotherham and Wigan, and Hudds at home. I'd be surprised if we don't get the 5-6 points needed from those games alone. And we'll probably pick up unexpected points from the other 5 as well.

Today was a decent result. We're still 7 clear with only 9 to play, and Wigan won't get to play Rotherham every week.

This is broadly where i am.

 

[Hampster Gull]

I blame JFC for this result

Not sure about best possible team. As much as I like Stephens he is not and never will be a left winger and cms over O'Grady is not a good move in my book.

I did say pretty much. It's more the point that we do not have a plethora of fit attacking players available to play. Stephens is one of our better players so he has to play, but no he is not a left winger but if you stick Tex/Lua Lua out there, you then do not have much cover for Bennett on the left.

We just hung on.

We were good for first 25 minutes but as always lack of a decent striker cost us.The game should have been safe by 25th minute.

Wigan gained two points on us today

Just keep ticking the points over. CH will be learning lots about his squad

surely he's not that thick

Didn't do enough to win today, probably slightly fortunate to get the draw in my view. Stockdale made 3 good saves in the credit column to offset the rickett, somebody (Greer?) cleared one off the line, they had better possession and we were definitely hanging on in the last 10 mins They looked far more likely to nick it. Poor old CMS didn't look like scoring from a couple of very good chances. Couldn't see if his "goal" was offside to be honest.

Shame the football spoilt a lovely afternoon snoozing in the spring sunshine, luckily there was no noise from the crowd to wake us up

We want Boro promoted and out on the lash by the time we venture north...

Total failure to attack from the Albion on the left hand side for almost the whole of the match until Lualua came on. It was obvious and was partly down to Dale Stephens.

To spell it out for you PPF, my point was he doesn't need to panic re getting points. I think he should focus on trying new things, seeing who works best under what circumstances etc. for me its all about next year

Win at Millwall, and if Watford win at Wigan on Tuesday, then....

We'll stay up

 

[Tarpon]

Have a feeling we'll see goals today. Both teams to score 5/6...

loverly jubbly

This bloke on the phone-in is a goodun. May not renew because we are playing with 3 full backs and 4 midfielders and it does not seem like football to him! Where are all these fit, attacking players we have available then? It's his opinion I suppose, but I am not sure where he expects CH to make changes? That is pretty much our best, fit team out on the field today.

Someone who came with a person that I know, wanted Hughton sacked for his team today. He was ranting on about players out of position. I tried to point out that Hughton was dealt this hand, then had injuries, so didn't have a lot of choice. I thought he was overreacting so just moved away rather than listen to his rant.

North awful . West bad

The North yesterday was an incredibly strange atmosphere. It felt tense throughout to me.

Walking Football

Forgot to say, in the bit where I might have drifted off to sleep like Stockdale.

I thought it was a good advert for "walking football" no player from either side running about very much. Except , of course, CMS.

Avoid defeat at Millwall, Rotherham and Wigan and we probably will. All we have to then do is match those below us results and some are playing each other so both cant win and draws wont be good enough for them to pick up the points they need to overtake us.
